What is recorded here
Mortons holds one of the largest collections of prehistoric and medieval burials in Ulster. The site gives life to the dead and shows how people marked loss long before written records. Its scale suggests a settled community that returned repeatedly to the same place. The field still belongs to memory, even when the names are gone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BURIAL GROUND (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
